Who is Paying to Push Abortion on Idaho?
By: Dorothy Moon, IDGOP Chairwoman
If you’re reading this, then you already know why you should vote no on Proposition 1. This radical initiative would eliminate Idaho’s laws protecting unborn babies, introduce vague terminology regarding “viability” that could potentially allow abortions in the third trimester, no questions asked, and remove legal requirements for parental consent for minor girls. It’s too extreme for Idaho, and I believe Idahoans will vote no on November 3rd.
Today I’d like to focus on the people and organizations spending millions of dollars to convince you to vote yes.
The euphemistically named Idahoans United for Women and Families, the organization behind Prop 1 and the effort to legalize abortion in Idaho, has raised nearly $5 million since launching the initiative campaign in late 2024. Of that, $1.3 million was reported this week alone from five out-of-state donors.
Exactly half of that amount came from Government That Works PAC, a D.C.-based group that is also bankrolling Democratic candidate James Talarico’s campaign in Texas. Talarico, as you know, supports a radical agenda, from transitioning children to high taxes and regulations and even opposition to eating meat. Are these the values we want here in Idaho?
A quarter-million dollars came from Gwendolyn Sontheim Meyer, who has used her Cargill inheritance to push left-wing positions throughout the nation. A few years ago, she donated $1 million to the successful effort to amend Ohio’s constitution to legalize abortion. Now she has set her sights on Idaho to impose abortion here as well.
Another quarter-million dollars came from Michael Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City and Democratic presidential candidate. He contributed millions toward legalizing abortion in Ohio and Missouri, as well as several million more to support abortion rights in Missouri, and has donated $50 million over the years to organizations such as Planned Parenthood.
The California-based PGSR Trust is harder to nail down, but records show it has contributed to the Jane Fonda Climate PAC, which primarily supports Democratic candidates who promise regulations in the name of stopping climate change. The trust contributed $100,000 to the Prop 1 campaign.
Finally, Blair Hull is an Illinois billionaire with a long history of supporting Democratic politicians and programs. His foundation has made large grants to Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice America, both of which have fought for abortion for many years. He contributed $50,000 to support Prop 1.
These donations are already being spent on social media, TV and radio ads, signs, and text messages trying to convince you to bring abortion to Idaho.
Don’t fall for it. This November, I believe Idahoans will rise up and reject this radical initiative and remind the nation that Idaho values life. Vote no on Prop 1!
